Sodom & Gomorrah of Silicon Valley Swap Campaign Finance Assets

Sodom & Gomorrah of Silicon Valley Swap Campaign Finance Assets

Both Google and Linkedin are two of the biggest financiers of the Obama Campaign and two of the biggest beneficiaries of political campaign graft. Just like Solyndra, they buried much of their illicit cash in real estate. They say they are “swapping” but are they really or is it just another tax scam?

Executives say the blockbuster property swap — involving 1 million square feet of existing buildings, including LinkedIn’s current headquarters, and 2.4 million square feet of future development capacity — benefits both sides: It will give Google control over critical puzzle pieces in North Bayshore, providing a path forward for the search giant’s futuristic vision there as LinkedIn departs the Google-heavy North Bayshore business district. At the same time, LinkedIn will gain property — elsewhere in Mountain View and in Sunnyvale — that allows it to build out a cohesive corporate campus years earlier than anticipated under previous plans for a costly planned mixed-use headquarters called Shoreline Commons.

In 2015, Google submitted a master plan to Mountain View’s city officials that included… more

“We spent a lot of time and energy on Shoreline Commons, but it was complicated by one single fact: That it was going to take five to six years to build,” said Jim Morgensen, LinkedIn’s vice president for workplace, in an interview on Monday. “And that’s a long time for a tech company to have multiple, split campuses.”

The deal — in which no money is changing hands — is a remarkable sign of collaboration for two business rivals that have butted heads for years when it comes to real estate. Under terms of the transaction, Google and LinkedIn will exchange several leased and owned pieces of property:

▪LinkedIn will acquire ownership of two major large Google properties in Mountain View: 700 and 800 East Middlefield in Mountain View, totaling more than 28 acres and 460,000 square feet of building area. Google spent $250 millionand $33 million, respectively, to acquire them in 2014; the 700 Middlefield site includes the possibility of building 1 million square feet on the site.

▪Google also will take over LinkedIn’s lease for 370,000 square feet on Stierlin Court in Mountain View’s North Bayshore, one of the few pieces of real estate Google didn’t control near its headquarters.

A special request from Wiki Users:

"...This is Alice, I have seen that Wordpress is deleting, censoring and cutting off these public WIKI news sites that publish the news when that news uncovers certain corrupt politicians that have influence over Wordpress owners. We, the public, created Wordpress, and made it what it is today. It is illegal and a violation of an extraordinary amount of trust and human rights to do that to news outlets. Blocking XML imports, putting XML imports on stone-walled cycles, DNS re-routing, deleting sites for no legit reason is not cool for the public. Please ask Wordpress to leave the news alone..."

From Carl-
"..Wordpress exists because of the public and because of Wordpress saying that it was a "public service", we need Wordpress to no be a political censor and to stay a public service.."
